There has never been a book written on the subject of the Berlin Philharmonic during the Third Reich, in any language. The histo- riography is scant, and strewn with rumours and misinformation. This book represents the first comprehensive study of the rela- tionship between Hitler’s regime and its musical crown jewel. The Nazi regime’s patronage afforded the Berlin Philharmonic innumerable privileges unique among German cultural institu- tions. The orchestra accepted these benefits with a combination of gratitude, apprehension and vindication. As the musicians at- tempted to balance their exceptional status with a degree of ar- tistic and organisational autonomy, tensions between ideological principle, legal jurisdiction, personal taste, and pragmatic regu- lation, revealed profound contradictions at the heart of the Nazi State. In terms of institutional development, the transformations of the Berlin Philharmonic between 1933 and 1945 remain the ISBN 0-88962-880-7 models for the orchestra’s organisation to the present day. 200 pages, PB Drawing together documents from orchestra, State and PUB DATE: December, 2007 private archives, this book reflects the experience of a major HISTORY/MUSIC $25 CAN cultural institution, at once distressingly typical of Germany’s Nazi experience, and astonishingly distinct.

PMB 145, 4500 Witmer Industrial Estates Frank Worsley shared with Sir Ernest Shackleton one of the greatest Niagara Falls, New York 14305-1386 adventures of the Heroic Age of Antartic exporation. After their ship Ph/Fax 1.800.387.8992 Endurance was crushed in the ice in 1915, they made what is perhaps [email protected] the most famous small-boat journey in history, across 800 miles of the world’s roughest seas to get help. Worsley’s diaries and notes still provide the main records of that journey, yet the fame of Shackleton rather overshadowed the modest New Zealander. This first-ever biography of Worsley sets out to restore the balance. It tells the full story of his extraordinary life, from childhood as a larrikin in Akaroa, New Zealand, to his apprenticeship at sea, and the development of his remarkable skills as navigator and sailing master. It also backgrounds the particular friendship that flourished be- tween Worsley and Shackleton. In an age of mass communications, Frank Worsley would have been a public figure as famous as Sir Edmund Hillary. This biogra- phy gives an unhallowed yet eminent New Zealander his proper place in history. JOHN BELL THOMSON was born in Dunedin, New Zealand, in 1931. He worked throughout New Zealand as a journalist before travelling to other countries and working on newspapers in Asutralia, Britian and East Africa. He returned to New Zealand in 1969 and retired from journalism in 1996.

The Confluence is the story of Kate Bradley who is haunted by the loss of her father in a wild British Columbia river and takes up residence in a remote part of France; of Alain Auberjean, a concert violinist who believes his father was a Resistance hero executed by the Nazis; and of the el- derly and mysterious Madeleine Serault who fought with the Maquis during World War Two and now tries to protect a troubling secret in a small French village. In this compelling novel J.A. Wainwright explores the intersection of these three lives against a war-time back- ground of violent betrayal and death.

Her stories had been heard on CBC radio and in print for years (See New Maggie Muggins Stories: A Selection of the Famous Radio Stories. Toronto: Thomas Allen, 1947) before Maggie and her friends in the meadow materialized on television in 1955. In the popular, fifteen minute broadcast, Maggie played with friends like Fitzgerald Fieldmouse and Grandmother Frog. When she was caught in a quandary, her neighbour, Mr. McGarrity, usually to be found in checked shirt, straw hat and bib overalls, working in his garden, gave her advice or tried to help her to understand whatever was bothering her. When she was bored or tired, he might tell her a story or cheer her up by leading a song. Along with these principal characters, the meadow was filled with other animal friends, some of whom fit the pastoral setting, others who seemed a little out of place; Reuben Rabbit, Big Bite Beaver, Chester Pig, Greta Grub, Benny Bear, Leo Lion, Henrietta Hen, and Fluffy Squirrel.

  • YANNICK NÉZET-SÉGUIN Music Director Walter and Leonore Annenberg Chair
    YANNICK NÉZET-SÉGUIN Music Director Walter and Leonore Annenberg Chair Biography, February 2013 Yannick Nézet-Séguin triumphantly opened his inaugural season as the eighth music director of The Philadelphia Orchestra in the fall of 2012. From the Orchestra’s home in Verizon Hall to the Carnegie Hall stage, Nézet-Séguin’s highly collaborative style, deeply-rooted musical curiosity, and boundless enthusiasm, paired with a fresh approach to orchestral programming, have been heralded by critics and audiences alike. The New York Times has called Yannick “phenomenal,” adding that under his baton, “the ensemble, famous for its glowing strings and homogenous richness, has never sounded better.” In his first official season in Philadelphia, Yannick has taken the Orchestra to new musical heights in concerts at home, and has further distinguished himself in the community, with a powerful performance at the Orchestra’s annual Martin Luther King Tribute Concert, working with young musicians from the School District of Philadelphia’s All City Orchestra, establishing a relationship with the Curtis Institute, and ringing in 2013 with his Philadelphia audience with a festive New Year’s Eve concert. Following on the heels of a February 2013 announcement of a recording project with Deutsche Grammophon, Yannick and the Orchestra will record Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring together. Over the past decade, Nézet-Séguin has established himself as a musical leader of the highest caliber and one of the most exciting talents of his generation. Since 2008 he has been music director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic and principal guest conductor of the London Philharmonic, and since 2000 artistic director and principal conductor of Montreal’s Orchestre Métropolitain.

Despite being audible one moment and then gone forever in another, its affects are long lasting. It must have a beginning and an end, but the aftermath can linger within the listener. Not only did Herbert von Karajan direct music in a way that encompassed that description, but he himself encompassed that description. Herbert von Karajan was an Austrian who conducted in Germany in the twentieth century. It can be said that he greatly impacted Germany in the area of musical performance as well as film and recording while he presided as conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, or Berliner Philharmoniker as it would be called in the native German tongue.

  • War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada's Military, 1952-1992 by Mallory
    War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada’s Military, 19521992 by Mallory Schwartz Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Mallory Schwartz, Ottawa, Canada, 2014 ii Abstract War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada‘s Military, 19521992 Author: Mallory Schwartz Supervisor: Jeffrey A. Keshen From the earliest days of English-language Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television (CBC-TV), the military has been regularly featured on the news, public affairs, documentary, and drama programs. Little has been done to study these programs, despite calls for more research and many decades of work on the methods for the historical analysis of television. In addressing this gap, this thesis explores: how media representations of the military on CBC-TV (commemorative, history, public affairs and news programs) changed over time; what accounted for those changes; what they revealed about CBC-TV; and what they suggested about the way the military and its relationship with CBC-TV evolved. Through a material culture analysis of 245 programs/series about the Canadian military, veterans and defence issues that aired on CBC-TV over a 40-year period, beginning with its establishment in 1952, this thesis argues that the conditions surrounding each production were affected by a variety of factors, namely: (1) technology; (2) foreign broadcasters; (3) foreign sources of news; (4) the influence

  • Backstage Access: Why Live? Insight Into the LIVE Classical Music Journey Jennifer Teisinger, Executive Director of Bravo! Vail
    Backstage Access: Why Live? Insight into the LIVE Classical Music Journey Jennifer Teisinger, Executive Director of Bravo! Vail My most memorable experience of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 was a live performance by the San Francisco Symphony and Chorus with Michael Tilson Thomas conducting. The performance was part of a recording cycle of all the Mahler symphonies, which gave the concert a heightened level of importance and pronounced energy. What I remember most was the end of the 70-minute musical journey. I had this feeling of buoyancy, almost of being lifted up, as the music neared the end. The closing choral text makes the title, “Resurrection” seem inevitable: “I shall die so as to live,” and the words soar with the sound of bells and brass fanfares. With our mobile devices in easy reach at all times, we can listen to the latest Taylor Swift single (yes, I’ve done that), look up the population of Denver, read a review for a nearby restaurant or get directions to just about anywhere in the world. You can also download Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 and listen to it through your wireless Bluetooth speakers or earbuds in any location you choose. But instead, we will choose to gather together on July 16 at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater to hear Maestro Yannick Nezet-Seguin’s interpretation of Mahler’s masterpiece with The Philadelphia Orchestra performed LIVE. Recordings are less expensive and more convenient than attending a concert, and with the high quality of today’s studio productions, they sound fantastic.

  • Furtwängler Broadcasts/Recordings
    Furtwängler Broadcasts & Broadcast Recordings 1927-1954 1st version: February 20, 2002 Latest revision: July 5, 2019 This list of Furtwängler broadcasts/broadcast recordings is based on various private and official lists in my possession. Most of the lists were given to me by Frau Elisabeth Furtwängler during visits in Clarens in the 1970s. I have not tried to verify stations missing from the lists. I have given RRG (Reichsrundfunk Gesellschaft) as source for many WWII broadcasts, which were transmitted from Berlin, Vienna, Bayreuth, or Prague. Many of the dates of these broadcasts stem from an Italian list (from Bologna), written in perfect German! Broadcasts of commercial recordings (78 rpms and LPs) are not included. In November/December 2003, I was asked by Angelo Scottini, Piacenza, Italy, to include his list of Italian broadcasts. January 1, 2004, René Trémine gave permission to include all broadcasts mentioned in his Furtwängler concert listing 1906-1954. April 21, 2008, Norbert Kleekamp forwarded information on the Meistersinger broadcasts from Bayreuth August 1943. February 1, 2010, I included the recorded broadcasts in my discography up to 1945. November 2012, René Trémine sent me a list of amendments, added on January 10, 2013. February 18, 2018, I added broadcasts from the Danish Radio (DR), from the BBC, and from the RRG. March 9, 2018, a few amendments by Stéphane Topakian were added. A few corrections were added on March 25, 2018. March 27, 2018 some broadcasts from the Swedish Radio (SR) were added. Broadcasts up to the end of 1947 from the Austrian database ANNO were added July 1, 2018.

  • THE ART of CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis Submitted In
    GESTURE AS COMMUNICATION: THE ART OF CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney May 2012 Statement of Originality I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Signed: Carolyn Watson Date: ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the art of orchestral conducting and in particular, the gestural language used by conductors. Aspects such as body posture and movement, eye contact, facial expressions and manual conducting gestures will be considered. These nonverbal forms of expression are the means a conductor uses to communicate with players. Manual conducting gestures are used to show fundamental technical information relating to tempo, dynamics and cues, as well as demonstrating to a degree, musical expression and conveying an interpretation of the musical work. Body posture can communicate authority, leadership, confidence and inspiration. Furthermore, physical gestures such as facial expressions can express a conductor’s mood and demeanour, as well as the emotional content of the music.
